Low-temperature-modulated fruit ripening is independent of ethylene in ‘Sanuki Gold’ kiwifruit
(Journal of Experimental Botany, 2011)
Fruit ripening in response to treatments with propylene, 1-methycyclopropene (1-MCP), and low temperature was characterized in ‘Sanuki Gold’ kiwifruit,Actinidia chinensis Planch. Propylene treatment immediately induced ...
Differential effects of various African nightshade species on the fecundity and movement of Tetranychus evansi (Acari: Tetranychidae)
(Cambridge University Press, 2011)
The tomato red spider mite Tetranychus evansi Baker & Pritchard is a serious pest of solanaceous plants worldwide. Management of this oligophagous pest in African nightshades has been a challenge to smallholder ...
Effect of Mn doping on the structural and optical properties of sol-gel derived ZnO nanoparticles.
(Springer, 2011)
Un-doped and Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized in an ethanolic solution by using a sol-gel method. Material properties of the samples dependence on preparation conditions and Mn concentrations were ...
Preparation of tervalent molybdenum complexes and a study of their reduction by zinc under low pressure of carbon monoxide
(Kenyatta University, 2011)
Previously, molybdenum hexacarbonyl, MO(CO)6 has been prepared by reduction of highoxidation state molybdenum compounds such as MoCls under high pressure (60-100atm.) and temperature (20-1000C), carbonylation of metal oxide ...
(μ-Ethane-1, 2-diamine-κ2N: N′) bis [dicarbonyl (η5-cyclopentadienyl) iron (II)] bis (tetrafluoridoborate)
(International Union of Crystallography, 2011)
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Fe2(C5H5)2- (C2H8N2)(CO)4](BF4)2, contains two half-cations, each
located on a center of symmetry, and two tetrafluoridoborate anions. The iron atoms adopt a three-legged ...
Acetonitriledicarbonyl (η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) iron (II) tetrafluoridoborate
(International Union of Crystallography, 2011)
In the structure of the title compound, [Fe{5-C5(CH3)5}- (NCCH3)(CO)2]BF4, the arrangement of ligands around the
Fe atom is in a pseudo-octahedral three-legged piano-stoolfashion in which the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ...
Prediction of the likelihood of Households Food Security in the Lake Victoria Region of Kenya
(Pakistan Journal of Statistics and Operation Research, 2011)
This paper considers the modeling and prediction of households food security status using a sample of households in the Lake Victoria region of Kenya. A priori expected food security factors and their measurements are ...

A low-cost medium for sweet potato micropropagation
(African Crop Science Conference Proceedings, 2011)
Tissue culture has not been optimised in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L) Lam) propagation due to high costs. With an
aim of producing affordable disease-free seedlings, a low cost medium was developed and used to ...
